And because I can...
Well, bitter_banshee did it and some other people did it earlier, so, well, I thought I'd finally get around to it.

4.Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post the result as a comment in this post. Also, pass it along in your own journal because it's more amusing that way.

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't remember what resolutions I made...and I didn't make any formal ones. I guess just striving for personal betterment is what I do instead.

Yup. Both of my sister-in-laws. So now we've got Clara and Lily.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
yes
5. What countries did you visit?
Um...no other countries, but I went to Hawaii?
6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
More self-confidence, productivity and...writing more.
7. What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
October 27th. It was my wedding.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Well, it didn't feel huge to graduate...(I just went to work and realized later that day that I was graduated then) so, I'd have to say getting married. And...sticking it all the way up to it.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Did what I knew I shouldn't do. And ignored it.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Minor colds and the like. Nothing major.
11. What was the best thing you bought?

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Brazil's.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
...mine, sometimes. But politicians more than anything.

Rent, food, random movies/books.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
This sounds repetitive, but...my wedding!
16. What song will always remind you of 2007?
Um. Maybe...38th Parallel - Blue Horizons. Or perhaps Linkin Park - What I've Done. Also up there is Vertical Horizon - Finding Me.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Happier.
ii. thinner or fatter? I fluctuated a bit, but...maybe a little thinner? Less toned, maybe.

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Thought about others, talked to people. Tried to draw, read, write.

Piddle around.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Well, it's already past it...but we went to my parent's house.
22. Did you fall in love in 2007?
Ish? I was already falling for him at the end of 2006, so...yes and no?
23. How many one-night stands?

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
*thinks* No, don't think so.
26. What was the best book you read?
Gah! That's a tough question. Um, um, I'll pick two! Mistborn: Final Empire was one and the other was His Majesty's Dragon. I just can't say that Allomancy or dragons are better...
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Within Temptation. I can't believe I didn't check it out the first time my sister recommended it.
28. What did you want and get?
A jewelry case!
29. What did you want and not get?
A completely new wardrobe. But I knew that wasn't gonna happen anyway.
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
I can't pick just one! Um...I Am Legend (I didn't think I'd like it so much, either...), Stardust (Death by ferrets!), and Transformers (oh so pretty mechs...).

22. And I think I did something with my family...Yeah. They left the next day, I think.
32.What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Me being less of a depressive bum. Apparently highs come with real deep lows where I'm concerned.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2007?
Jeans. Lots of wearing of jeans. And the happy discovery of Shade shirts.
34. What kept you sane?
Brazil. And music. Lots of music.
35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Misa Oka. He's just so dang cute as Hiro.
36. What political issue stirred you the most?
The decision to make a participant's religion a huge factor in the Presidental election. ...and the whole "giving 11 year old girls birth control thing w/out parental consent". But I don't think that totally fits.
37. Who did you miss?
Grandma. And Nini, BeBe, and Elel. ...and my parents, too.
38. Who was the best new person you met?
Ben. Definitely Ben.

No matter how terrible I think things are? It's better to just suck it up and deal with than mope.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
Don't tell me
How to be
'Cause I like some suffering
Don't ask me
What I need
I'm just fine
Here finding me
Me
I've already given
Up on getting through
I never question
Who I'm talking to
Oh so much for nothing
But nothing means so much
I know it's touching
But I've been out of touch
And it's all that I can do
I'm a sight for my sore eyes
But it's all I am so
Rather depressing, but...I seriously identified with it for a long, long time.
